Scuttle Contest

  • You lose most scuttle fights level 3 since your damage output is too low against her sustain and extended trading power.
  • From level 6, only engage 1v1s if you can guarantee your R hits and have backup arriving, as she can W your engage and out-sustain your burst.

Predicted Jungle Path

  • She'll likely start topside and look for early invades or aggressive plays since she has strong early dueling power.
  • Expect her to contest scuttles and look for picks in your jungle around your second clear.

Invade or Not

  • No, avoid invading as you lose most 1v1 scenarios early game due to her superior sustained damage and healing.
  • Focus on safe farming and only engage when you have numerical advantage or can guarantee a successful R engage.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't try to out-duel her in extended fights, especially after level 6 when her R gives additional burst and CC.
  • Avoid fighting near objectives where she can use W to zone your team and make herself untargetable from key damage dealers.
